Monet

This is my first tremendously popular painting which I began by choosing the color palette for first, a unique and somewhat odd approach for me in my work. One of my favorite combinations of color is that of browns and blues. I found myself challenged with this piece by pushing paint and playing with the application without making “mud”. The original rendering in watercolor was very different from the oil. With the final canvas painting, I used a non traditional means of applying the paint to the canvas – I used the end of my paintbrush along with a stiff scrub brush, after applying the paint with the typical paintbrush. I discovered great success by placing the shapes of color and then basically finger painting with my newly found improvised tools. I titled the impressionistic piece Monet, as a tribute to on of my favorite painters, Monet, master of light and color.
